Not What We Imagined

Ghost in the corner

They're not white like we imagined

They don't look like angels

They have a somber disposition

a faded face

faint lines of a silhouette

I asked for her name

She took on a look of surprise

Moved her gaze to the floor

as if pondering how to answer

She opened her grey mouth

and whispered "I am yours"

This is a brilliantly compact ghost story, and, if you don't mind, I have several more questions about it (especially its provenance---what inspired you to write this). It is chillingly beautiful.
